A/B weeks

Alternating weeks, actually balanced.

Some students come every week, some on A weeks, some on B weeks. Trying to keep both weeks balanced by hand is where most spreadsheets fall apart. Set the Tune handles it natively.

Two weeks, kept even

Set the Tune understands every-week, A-week, and B-week students as distinct patterns. It balances the load so a teacher’s A week and B week look alike instead of one being slammed and the other empty, and it reads a teacher’s peak day correctly across both weeks rather than stacking them.

One click builds the whole season

Import the roster you already have and Set the Tune places every student in one pass. The optimizer respects each family’s availability windows, matches students to the right teacher and instrument, never double-books, and keeps each teacher inside a real workday.

It is deterministic and free to run. Press the button again after a change and it converges, it does not reshuffle a schedule that is already good.

The conflict engine catches what a calendar cannot

Every lesson is checked the moment it lands. Double-bookings, availability violations, teacher overload, and travel that is physically impossible all surface as flags you can see, not surprises a parent finds for you.

  • ♩Double-booking and room conflicts
  • ♩Availability-window violations
  • ♩Teacher hours over an 8-hour day
  • ♩Meal-break compliance for long days
  • ♩Drive time that does not fit between two homes

Common questions

Does Set the Tune support A/B or every-other-week lessons?

Yes, natively. Every-week, A-week, and B-week students are distinct patterns in the engine, not a note typed into a cell.

How does it keep the two weeks balanced?

It balances load per teacher across both weeks, so an A week and a B week look alike instead of one being slammed and the other empty.

Can a teacher have different students on A and B weeks?

Yes, and that is the normal case. The engine reads a teacher’s peak day correctly across both weeks rather than stacking them on top of each other.

Are conflicts checked on both weeks?

Every lesson on both weeks is checked. Double-bookings, availability violations, teacher overload, and impossible drives all surface as flags.

What Set the Tune doesn't do.
Tuition invoicing, attendance, parent portals, family messaging. On purpose. Set the Tune is the scheduling layer. It builds the calendar your admin tools manage. If you run those elsewhere, keep them and use both.

Schedule the season in an afternoon, not a week.
